Further details
The jewelry of Marcus & Co. is beautifully crafted and artfully designed, following the dictates of the talented Herman Marcus, whose early training with the court jeweler of Dresden is evident in their jewelry. On this ring, the abstracted Arabic inscriptions of Moorish origin relate to a ring designed by Marcus' son, George, illustrated in Penny Proddow and Debra Healy, American Jewelry Glamour and Tradition, pl. 29.
